Stencils



This image as you can probably tell is another beautiful image of the famous Kelly Rowland. This photo of her is about to become a stencil and be painted to become something new. So the first step for me was to obviously find the perfect image of her (I used a lot of them so i chose something new this time). After printing it out, I then traced it on to a piece of A5 card and then got a craft knife (my worst enemy).
After having 2 failed attempts of trying to cut the image out, i eventually got it and then I got my sponge and 3 acrylic paints and began dabbing blotches of paint on to the stencil to create what is shown below.


The whole reason behind me doing this, was to actually gain a new skill and get a bit more experience of stencilling  and the different things that follow on with it. I actually like my attempt on it but i think next time i should spent a bit more time on the cutting out part. It does look rushed but it's only because i was racing against time so i struggled to keep to detail. (that craft knife didn't help either!)



This was done by the artist Banksy, he was the main artist known for having so many successful stencils prints.
